The Future of Hermeneutics
This volume is comprised of contributions from internationally respected scholars dedicated to the theme of »The Future of Hermeneutics.« These contributions are gathered from research originally presented at the annual International Hermeneutics Symposium in 2023 and 2024. The topic means to draw attention not only to the relevance of research in hermeneutics for our future, but also current developments in hermeneutics that will shape research …
Hans-Georg Gadamer. Practical Knowledge (1930), translated by

While scholars have long recognized the significance of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s 1930 “Practical Knowledge”, the essay has remained unavailable to an Anglophone readership until now. Gadamer’s “Practical Knowledge” represents his early views on a theme that will later prove decisive for his philosophical hermeneutics, namely, the ancient Greek concept of phronesis . In this translators’ introduction, we first outline some key points from Gadamer’s ar…
